Brown Bag

This weekend I went to the Barnswallows quilt show in Morden, three times to be exact, and I didn't take one picture. I kept forgetting my camera in the car. The best part was that Darcie from Quilting by Darcie drove more than three hours to visit us and to see the quilt show. We also took in the art show in Winkler and our pot and quilt show in Morden. Again, not one picture. Darcie took some though, so there may be some to look at later.



Today I quilted the second roses wall hanging. I like the way the flowers and leaves turned out. I'm not quite so happy with the sky. I'll probably do an envelope rather than backing and binding. I will audition a couple of fabrics as binding, though, just in case that looks better. I do like the open, airy feeling it has with no binding.


I bought a bag pattern on the weekend and it seemed like a bit more fun to make it than to finish up any of my UFOs. It is not the easiest bag I've ever made but I like the way it turned out. I put on one shoulder strap rather than the two handles shown in the pattern. It has a magnetic snap to keep it closed. I keep thinking of embellishments I could put on it but I guess it will stay as it is for the time being. I could see a big brown flower on it...
